Locals compete in all-star game
Three Frisco ISD football players were selected for tomorrow’s second annual North American All Stars D/FW East vs. West Classic game.
Centennial running back Lakeylon Rice will join Liberty’s Lincoln Williams (WR/LB) and Toye Adewon (OL/DL) on the East roster for the event.
Taylor nabs another IFL honor
For the second straight week, Allen Wranglers receiver Ramonce Taylor has received an IFL Player of the Week award.
Claiming Special Teams honors in Week 14, Taylor was named IFL Offensive Player of the Week last Wednesday. Taylor continued his torrid special teams pace, scoring on a kickoff for the third straight week, but the Longhorns’ product also had seven catches for 116 yards and four touchdowns.
“Fans know Ramonce from his time on the National Championship Texas team and they know what a special player he is,” said Dixie Wooten, Allen offensive coordinator. “Ramonce is finally comfortable playing the indoor game and it has really shown the past three or four games.”
Dunn selected for all-star game
After helping lead Wakeland to a regional semifinals berth, senior third baseman Darian Dunn will represent the Lady Wolverines in the Texas Girls Coaches Association all-star softball game.
The event will take place July 10 at the Workman Complex in Arlington and will feature the top seniors from around the state.
Dunn will be joined by multiple players from the Metroplex, including Ennis’ Ashley Deutsch, Plano East’s Holly Kern and Plano’s Kristen Miles.
The game will have a 7 p.m. first pitch.
Celebrity HR Derby coming to town
Each summer, a cluster of standout pro athletes and sports figures take to Dr Pepper Ballpark in Frisco for the Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game.
This year will be no different, with the game hosted by Dallas Mavericks standout Dirk Nowitzki. Before Dirk and Co. hit the diamond, the celebrities will duke it out in the Baylor Medical Center at Frisco Celebrity Home Run Derby.
The event is slated for June 30 at 5 p.m., with the actual ballgame slated to follow at 6. The public is invited to participate as well, although those interested must try out by June 22 at HITS400 in Plano. Four hitters will be selected to compete against the celebrities on June 30.
Tickets for the game itself start at $7 with proceeds benefiting the Dirk Nowitzki Foundation and the Heroes Foundation.
